it would be good for me as I will be coming off from aandroid and a first timer to buy and use an iPhone, but the downside is that freaking battery! -.- that wouldn't even last me hours for excessive usage.

Love the form factor and design. Beware of change for change's sake which can lead to backward steps (auto industry?). Delighted with the internal updates. I was going to hold on to my iPhone 5 as I don't want to lug around these new large things. Thank you, Apple, for not forgetting the "rest of us". I will be getting an SE in April. Kudos.

Wrong Move from Apple.
They didn't learn from iphone 5c.
People wants iphone cause they are like innovation and beauty
iphone se doesn't meet that 2 category.
People who already buy iphone 6 and 6s will disappointed cause they pay expensive product and apple release the cheap one with the same power and capability.

I see lots of hate for some people that doesn't understand the needs for others.
Some people just want
-Small device for the pocket, specially people with 2-3 devices
-Fast performing device that handle their work and basic needs, can open up and scroll through 2k names on the list
-Storage is not important, we simple backup or cloud them regularly, i have a Terabyte on Flickr, and Online Radio, i don't have gigabytes of games, this device is not made for gamer as it has small display, u wanna game, buy a console of Phablet-Tablet, this one is not for you, beside a more stroage will come with a 64 Gigs of storage, so shush!!
-Battery...Comparing a 4.7' display that has 1715 mAh or even ( as i have seen in comments) a 5.5" display with 2750 mAh with this 4" display that has 1642 mAh.... you're DUMP AS F*^K, your display consumes somehow more than 50% of the battery life, smaller displays with smaller bodies, Apple is limited, and as i compare between this one and the iPhone 6S, this one will out perform in the battery life section
Beside, we have home - work - car and power banks, if you're a heavy mobile phone user doing what-so-ever on the device, you will run out of battery in 5-6 hours continues usage whatever the device you'r using

Apple will continue doing the 4.75' "Basic" Lines
Apple will continue doing the 5.5" "S" Lines
They will not revoke them, they are adding something new to the family tree, which is good as they cover more market with it

ARiA7, 22 Mar 2016I don't understand why apple fanboy really interested with this phone.
1642 mAh battery? What... moresome practical users like small devices, big ones are not made for them, and charging for so many is not an issue with home, car and power banks, and it will come with more storage, they just announced the 16 with it's price, higher memory will be available

Dr. Krabs, 21 Mar 2016Yeah, iPhone SE is so clearly a sign that Apple is ignoring what their customers are saying, r... moreI can't understand why this bothers you, making a new line for iPhones with smaller displays will target lots of customers that has been asking for it (i myself is one of them), Apple never said that the basic lines and the "S" lines will be revoked, they will continue in production, they are just covering more market with this move as there are no 4" high-end smart phones whatsoever with strong performances...

Ben, 21 Mar 2016Are u kidding?! The 64gb model is only 499$ and u have the specs identical as the 6s, the batt... moreI can accept your statements about similarities between iPhone 6s but you're exaggerating too much? Similar battery with 6s?? You must be joking
